Today, patients have more choices than ever to straighten their teeth. The most common options are traditional braces and modern clear aligners. Both work effectively, but which is best for you depends on your lifestyle, goals, and dental needs.
Braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires to move teeth into alignment. They are reliable, affordable, and suitable for even complex orthodontic issues. However, they are visible and cannot be removed during treatment.
Clear Aligners, such as Invisalign, use a series of transparent, removable trays. They are almost invisible and allow patients to eat, brush, and floss comfortably. They are ideal for individuals who prefer a discreet and flexible treatment option.
Which is better?
There’s no universal answer. The right solution depends on your case severity, comfort level, appearance preference, and lifestyle. An orthodontic consultation helps you understand which treatment will give you the best results.
